Florida women accused of drugging men, stealing their valuables

FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida (CNN) — South Florida authorities are asking for the public’s help to find four “foxy thieves” they say are drugging men they pick up at high-end bars and stealing tens of thousands of dollars in cash, jewelry, guns and other valuables.

Investigators have identified four of the women’s victims, Moschella said, adding that they believe other victims “haven’t come forward because they’re embarrassed.”

“This investigation is by no means over,” she added. “We anticipate identifying other suspects and other victims.”

Scott Rosen, 54, told CNN two of the suspects paired up when they worked the scam on him. Rosen said met the two women at YOLO, a popular bar in Fort Lauderdale’s business district, and the three left the bar for his house. There, Rosen said, one of the women distracted him while the other made him a drink.

“I got drugged,” Rosen said.

The next thing Rosen remembers is waking up to discover over $250,000 worth of his personal items gone — handguns, diamonds and a Rolex watch he was wearing — along with the women.

“It could have been worse,” he noted. “They could have shot me with my own handgun.”

The women, who allegedly used fake names during their ruses, are each being charged with one count of grand theft. Broward County authorities are eager to get these women in custody. The sheriff’s office has joined with Crime Stoppers to offer a $1,000 reward for anonymous tips that lead to an arrest.

“We really want to get these women off the street … because they’re drugging their victims, presumably,” Moschella said. “We don’t know how long it will be before they end up killing somebody accidentally.”
